GLOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 2, 1918.

Application filed. March 9, 1917. Serial No. 153,664.

and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such, as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relate to gloves, and has for its object to improve the construction of the pattern of the glove goes to facilitate the sewing of the parts together, and with the further object of economizing in the quantity of material which may be utilized a in the manufacture of the glove by the peculiar design of a main pattern and two smaller patterns representing the backs of the second and third fingers, these parts being adapted to be sewed together in a manner to produce the desired formation of the fingers and to effect the location of the seams where they will be protected.

My present invention consists in a glove constructed of a main pattern portion havlllg formed integrally therewith the front and back of the thumb, the frontand back of the first finger, and the front and back of the fourth finger, and the fronts or palm portions of the second and third fingers, and further consists in the provision of two comparatively small sections forming the backs for the second and third fingers which are adapted to be sewed together prior to attachment to the main body portion of the glove.

In the following specification there is described one embodiment of my invention which is illustrated in the drawings wherein:

Figure 1 is a plan View of the main glove pattern or blank.

Fig. 2 is a plan view showing the two blanks for the backs of the second and third fingers.

Fig. 3 shows the back members of the second and third fingers as stitched prior to attachment to the glove.

Fig. 4 is a view of the back of the glove showing the position and method of securing the intermediate fingers to the main pattern of the glove, and I Fig. 5 is a erspective view of the complete glove 100 'ng toward the pahn thereof. In the form of the glove herein disclosed in Fig. 1 there is shown the pattern or blank in plan View, thi consisting of the palm portion P and the back portion B at the right and left hand sides respectively of the view, there being provided at the top portion of the pattern the front finger portion 1 of the index finger, and similarly the front finger portions 2 8 and 4?, these being disposed to appear at the inside .or palm of the finished glove. Integrally formed along one side of the portion 4; there is provided a back portion 4" of suitable length to be folded over and stitched to the portion i to form the little finger, while at the opposite ide of the pattern there is provided a thumb portion 5 forming the back of the thumb, and adjacent to thi is the finger portion 1 which is adapted to be stitched as hereinafter described to the portion 1 to form the whole index finger. Below the front or palm portion 1 of the index finger there is provided a lower extending portion 5 forming the palm element of the thumb which is adapted to be folded upwardly along the line 6 into the dotted line position so that when the pattern is folded to bring the side line 10 over the side line 11 the inside portion 5 of the thumb will be superposed upon the outside portion 5 and when these are properly stitched they form the complete thumb;

For the purpose of securing the complete middle or second and third fingers the pat tern shown in Fig. l is cut away at 7 to form an oval-shaped aperture, the upper side of which is split outwardly along a line 8, the wing portion 8 being adapted to be folded over the finger portion 1 and the portion 8 being adapted to be folded rearwardly over the portion 4 back to the end portions of the oval recess or notch 7. he backs of the second and third fingers are shown in Fig. :2 as comprising blanks having upwardly projecting and curved end portions, the lower ends of each of these blanks being cut with a reentrant angular portion at one side as at 2 and curved along the bottom portion at 2 and the angular portions 2 of each of the finger blanks 2 and 3 are adapted to be stitched together along the lines a and b to produce the attached blank shown in Fig. 3, the upper portion of the angular edges 2 of the blanks 2 and 3" forming an angular seam the upper portion of which provides a fullness so that these finger portions may be passed in between the fingers of the glove to provide the necessary {it and fullness.

Having stitched the blanks 2 and 3 together along the lines a and b, the lower curvilinear edges, as shown in Fig, 3, are stitched to the lower edge of the notch 7, as shown in Fig. 4, at the back of the glove, the outwardly extending curved edges of the bottom portion of the attached blanks 2" and 3 Fig. 3, are then secured tothe lower edges of the wing portions 8 and 8, respectively, torn ing the complete finger blank for the rear side or back of the glove.

Having thus provided a blank, in Fig. 1, of the proper size and shape and stitched the finger sections 2 and 3", Fig. 2, together as in Fig. :3, and then having {applied these latter to the curved edge of the notch 7, Fig. 1, the whole blank adapted to be folded upon itself so as to bring the edge 10 into overlapping relation with the edge 11 below the back of the thumb 5", and the blank is then stitched in one continuous seam S starting from the lower or wrist portion of the glove and continuing along the superposed edges of the portions 11.0 and 11, the edge of .tihe back portion 5 of the thumb being stitched to the upwardly folded portion 5 Shown in dot-ted lines, and thence continuing around the edge of the index portion 1 and 1 where these are superposed, this stitch being continued entirely around the overlapping edges of the first, seeond,'third and fourth fingers continuously until the whole edge of the glove has been stitched. It will be seen from this that ll3l1 stitching of the edges of the superposed plies of the glove will terminate at the l'eentrant angle between the top ends of the portions 4F and l of thelittle finger.

It is obvious that a glove of this type may be constructed from any suitable mate rial, such, for instance, as leather, cotton, wool 01*0tl1er fabric, and be made rapidly in lan s quantities owing to the simplicity of the stitches, and may be made inexpensively by reason of the economy of material.

What I oil-aim is:

A glove comprising an intega'al blank having palm and back portions provided with elements for all the fingers and thumb lei:- ieepting the backs of the second and thi id fingers, andha ing an oval shaped opening between the bases of the first and tonixth fingers, these latterbeing divided on line outward from said opening, similar im itterns for the backs of the second-and thind fingers stitched along azeentr-ant angular portions of their edges to pno icle cross-seam therebetween at the root of the fingers .to the palm said iattern stitch-ed at its bottom Copies of this patent may be obtained for fi-ve cents each, by addressing the Qommissioner ,of .IBatents,
